Sign up for the project to be added to a growing list of over 200 interested teachers from around the world. around-world3.jpg"

Lately my thoughts and efforts are shifting from figuring out how to get educators familiar and comfortable enough to use technology, as just another teaching tool to how to change or facilitate a shift of a school's culture into a learning community.

When we Skyped with Silvia, what happens years ago, makes more sense. She told us way more than I'd read in a textbook. She made me put myself in Germany during the night of broken glass.

fantastic tutorial about how to use Google maps to tell a digital story

1. Many in the blogger- and Twittersphere are realizing and understanding that their PLN will give them back what they put into it. 2. We need to share what we do in the classroom, not only to give other educators fresh ideas and new ways to look at teaching and learning, but also to collectively show that schools and individual classrooms ARE changing and preparing students for a different future.

"Bloom's Taxonomy for iPads I have added links to each app represented on the visual."

Julie and I spent some time with Silvia Tolisano talking about global collaboration, telling the story of how the flat classroom started and why we kept it going and the reason for the book. Also we snuck into the things shared in the book that we hope will help those involved in global education make it scalable and consistent. Probably the most fun was our discussion near the end about how Silvia and I "met" online and how we covered ISTE2006 from afar on our computers (pre twitter.) it was a fun talk.

Will you help Silvia Tolisano's students by letting them know what screencasts you want them to record? Thank you for taking a moment. This is a great project she's doing for these 6th graders. She does such a wonderful job of helping students develop an authentic audience.

Great blog about how changing technology is changing what it means to be literate in our society. Love the monk video.

I am convinced that the power is IN THE SOFTWARE. But not the software itself, but how it is used as a tool to present the lesson in a new way, for a different learning style, for access outside of the classroom.

I really enjoy this information from Silvia tolisano about Mixbook -- it is part 7 of an amazing digital storytelling series.

...by creating visuals, I support my own learning and understanding. * Ideas that I am trying to articulate become clearer in my mind * I am able to formulate and recall the connections between thoughts better * The sequence of my train of thought becomes apparent or can be revised better

This is an excellent example of how a globally connected classroom can provide students with an experience unparalleled to classroom not using tech!

Great roles for students to take on if you're looking to Skype in your classroom.

Love this easy way to set up a webpage with my students so we have an option besides Blackboard.
